Missionary focus-Krause Family with Reach Global

We are seeking to glorify God by
multiplying transformational churches in a number of places across Asia. Here
are some praises and praises and prayer points for each place and for our family.

Praise points:

We are thankful for the special times we had
with Barb’s Dad and Mom in August. Dad has decided to pursue
immuno-therapy treatment. Pray with us that this will fight off and
extend the quality of life for him. Barb and I will be with them again
this month.

Praise God for the good strategic planning
meeting for our East Asia Partnership Team. We are seeing God’s hand lead us as
we transition from a residential city team that was focused just on a single
city in East Asia to now being a regionally focused team that will invest in
multiplying disciples and churches by coming alongside specific partners across
the entire East Asia region.

Prayer Points:

Indonesia

· Ask God to lead as Jon (ReachGlobal Asia co-worker) and I
interact with leaders from our SEA Team in
Indonesia and the Philippines.

· Pray that Jon and I can be an encouragement to the church
planters. Ministry for them can be lonely and challenging.

· Pray for good meetings with another of our Indonesian partners.
Ask God to lead as we work on improving communication between them and
USA churches who are supporting them.

Taiwan

· Keep praying for the new initiative in Taiwan that is
developing.

· Ask God to show us where and how He would want us to engage in
church planting in Taiwan.

· Pray for long-term workers to be raised up from our EFC churches
and sent to Taiwan.

Manila

· Pray for Jon and my time with SEA Team leaders who are focused
on church planting among Ms in the
Philippines. Ask God to clarify how the SEA team members will
engage in both a local strategy (in Indonesia and the Philippines) but also
work together to serve one another across the SE Asia region.

· Pray for my time with Noel and Jing – two Filipinos, who Lord
willing, will join the SEA team to help us come alongside church planters
in Southern Thailand serving among the M community

· Pray for my time with the ReachGlobal Manila City team.
Manila has the most densely populated population of any city in the world.
